Pluto Doges a Bullet
So reads the headline. Visions of a large, floppy eared dog running from a barage of cartoon bullets being shot from a cartoon tommy gun.No, this story was dealing with the recent discovery that astronomers dont know what a planet is. No, this is not a scientific discovery, it is more a discovery that current scientists may not understand the concepts that old scientists have formulated.
So now we are treated to confusion and nonsense about how sientists are adding more planets to the solar system. HUH!? Yeah, they just pull them from where the sun dont shine and sling them into orbit around the sun.
The news of this is presented as though science controls the universe. No one seems to realize that it is the other way around. Those celestial bodies have been there from time immemorial. Just because astronomers did not see them did not mean they were not there. So how is it that scientists are being given credit for the existance of previously undiscovered heavenly bodies?
As I see it, the only credit that scientists deserve is credit for being wrong all these centuries.
Wonder what other theories and ‘laws’ are flawed.
